All Dr Bronner's Castile Liquid Soaps are not only certified by Oregon Tilth to the same rigorous USDA National Organic Program standards that certify organic foods, but also are certified Fair Trade by the respected Swiss certifier IMO.

Dr Bronner's Classic Liquid Soaps Made With Fair Trade & Organic Oils have been called the "Swiss-army knife" of cleaning – usable for just about any cleaning task. These simple, ecologically formulated Dr Bronner Liquid Castile soaps are gentle enough for washing body, face or hair, but also powerful enough for tasks like dishwashing, mopping, laundry and even pest control. Different tasks call for different dilutions of the soap. To get you started with some basic uses, check out Lisa Bronner's "Liquid Soaps Dilutions Cheat Sheet."

Dr Bronners An Overview of Soapmaking

Soaps have been made for millennia. Aside from making fire and cooking food, “saponifying” oil and fat into soap is one of the oldest and simplest chemical reactions known to humankind. In fact, the first soaps were accidentally made by fat dripping into the ashes of cooking fires.

Soap is made by saponifying a fat or oil with an alkali. A fat or oil is a “triglyceride,” which means that three fatty acids of various carbon lengths are attached to a glycerin backbone. The alkali is either sodium hydroxide (for bars) or potassium hydroxide (for liquids), made by running electricity through salt water.

The saponification process is a simple one-step reaction with no waste generated: the glycerin is split off from the fatty acids, and the fatty acids combine with the sodium or potassium to form soap, while the hydroxide forms water. The result is soap, glycerin and water (no alkali remains in Dr Bronner soaps).

Quality soapmaking consists in great part of choosing the right proportions of the right oils. Coconut oil is very high lathering, but can be drying. Olive oil gives a really soft and luxuriant lather, but in small amounts. By using both coconut and olive oils in the right ratio, Dr Bronner’s unsurpassed soaps offer the best of both worlds: high lather with superb softness on the skin. To top it off, Dr Bronner soaps also contain hemp and jojoba oils, which mirror the natural oils in the skin’s sebum, thus imparting a wonderful after feel once the soaps are washed away.

Other Ways Dr Bronner’s Makes Higher-Quality Soaps

* Unlike most commercial soapmakers, who distill the glycerin out of their soaps to sell separately, Dr Bronners retain it in their soaps for its superb moisturising qualities.* Dr Bronners super-fat their bar soaps for a milder, smoother lather.* Dr Bronners use natural vitamin E from sunflower seeds and citric acid from fermented tapioca to protect freshness.* Dr Bronners do not add any chelating agents, dyes, whiteners or synthetic fragrances.* Dr Bronners use pure and powerful high-quality certified organic essential oils.* Dr Bronners liquid soaps are three times more concentrated than most so-called “liquid soaps” on the market, and they are only a few percent away from being a solid, which saves on packaging materials.* Dr Bronners soaps are a superb value, costing less than less-concentrated, inferior detergent body-wash “liquid soaps.”* Dr Bronners soaps are most popular for at-home washing, but they are also the soap of choice for many campers and hikers, as they are biodegradable and nature-friendly.* Dr Bronners also use better packaging; Dr Bronners plastic cylinder bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic.

After recently suffering a horrific bout of diagnosed eczema near my eyes the first time it had happened I was at a loss as to what to . I normally use natural skin products but my usual brand was not dealing with the issue effectively or quickly enough .As is often typical in these situations GP visits were not that helpful prescription Cortisone even mild at 0.5% can be very damaging to the eye in the long run so I treated myself to some designer sunnies and went on the hunt for an alternative . I remember using this brand in California and thought it might be worth a shot . I only bought a trial size but it is very concentrated and immediately upon touch my skin was soft , comfortable and less irritated . I have increased my intake of vit d and the b vit and liberally apply Organic Apple cider vinegar with the mother all over the area altogether it's very effective and I've seen a dramatic improvement .but I would suggest that if you have been diagnosed with a skin condition this brand packs a power punch of goodness , it won't cure it over night like cortisone will so don't expect it to but it will leave your skin rested , comfortable and almost "normal" . My skin is highly reactive anyway so if it works for me it may work for you . My other tip is to literally pretend it's not there I know this can be very difficult when you stumble out of bed looking and feeling like Frankenstein but this condition can be beaten and controlled and attitude plays a significant factor . Finally drink lots of water and stick with this website little miracles can and do happen here . Only fellow victims of skin stress will understand why I posted such a long message the golden thread of hope is here you just need to give it a try good luck :)

Multi Chemical Sensitive who has found hope with Dr Bronners - Review by Lisa

I am allergic to perfumes, all my previous beauty products had to be thrown away. My doctor is at a loss, but I have had to diagnose myself, since my doctor also wears perfumes I am allergic to. I am multi chemical sensitive. After reading about other people's problems regarding chemicals and their sudden allergies, headaches, nose bleeds, migraines, sickness, general fatigue and cannot be in the same room with people who wash their clothes in perfumed washing powders and laundry scents this must be what it is. I have been using the Dr Bronner's Unscented Castile Liquid Soap for a year now. I wash the house, me and my clothes with it. To a degree going unscented has made me even more sensitive to people's aftershaves and perfumes. This isn't funny, and I have lost my sense of humour over this nasty allergy. But after finding your unscented products my home is like a calm place to be now. Of course, everyone thinks I am weird because I cannot go to people's houses because they stink! A few of my friends have started to try out the Dr Bronner products/natural scented products as they have noticed when they leave my house they are more receptive to smells, artificial smells. I don't want to convert anyone to this, but it seems to me that if you cannot pick up a scent very easily/have a blocked nose all the time, something is very wrong with the products you use in your home. And people have the brass to actually try and say I am weird, when they're so smelly and they can't smell it. LOL.

I have been hearing such wonderful things about Dr bronner that I decided to try the unscented dr bronner liquid soap for my baby. Since then, I have altered the whole way we live our lives in our house. This cleans practically everything. I did try the peppermint as a toothpaste once, but really couldn't get over the soap taste. But for everything else it is blooooooming fantastic. Carpet washing, bathroom washing, clothes washing, hair and skin washing. Car washing! Baby washing. Husband washing. Did I leave anything out? WOW. how can this not be so well known about? It was like a little secret waiting to be found. Everyone should buy Dr Bronners. I think it will change the world. It certainly changed ours!

I read the Multi Chemical Sensitive Review and I feel the same. So have just bought a Dr bronners unscented. i think I shall be very pleased. I feel very ill and have been signed off sick from work for migraines and flu problems. No one knows what is going on but I know deep down it must be people's perfumes. Am I weird? I feel so weird at the moment, but I would like to say thank you to the person that posted their review earlier, this made me feel not so weird! Thank you from the bottom of my heart <3

You can use it for everything. We use it for hand wash, shower gel and for now washing our clothes. My friend even uses it to wash there family’s teeth (not for me, its far to soapy). Its consistency is a bit runny but once you are used to it, it’s fine. Really gentle on my skin, by far the best body wash I have ever come across.
